    Croutons - What do to with leftover bread

    This is a bit like... as the saying goes "teaching  your Mother how to suck eggs" 
    But just another way to use up your leftover baguette.

    Yesterday I forgot I had bought a baguette to have with our lunch...silly me... so there it was sitting on the stairs. Shame to waste, so this morning I made croutons 

    So so simple, just slice the baguette,  lay them on a tray, spray with olive oil and 
    sprinkle sea salt flakes over them 
    As easy as that
    Bake in 160 degree C oven for about 15 minutes
    turn the tray around for even baking
    and back in for about another 5 mins

    They should be golden and crunchy 
    Pop them on a rack to cool


    Great with soup
    or with your favourite dip, in this case Hummus dressed with Lemon Olive Oil
    And a couple of leaves of Coriander and few littles of Fresh Chili
    Just to pretty it up

    Yum
